Lyrics

Closer to the edge once more
I step outside that open door
And feel the peace within me wash away
Safe inside curled up and warm
Two little girls and a loving mom
You know that's where I'd really rather stay

And I said mmmmm
Heavens just a step away
Just a swing of my front gate

Payday comes an endless score
And riches live on unfound shore
And workdays are just empty and mundane
Battles are fought in an endless war
And demons keep forgotten scores
Give it all to make it through the day

And I said mmmmm
Heavens just a step away
Heavens just a step away
Just a swing of my front gate

Radio plays my favorite chorus
As I turn my worn down old Ford Taurus
To the street where my kids and there friends all play

And I said mmmmm
Heavens just a step away
Heavens just a step away
Heavens just a step away
Heavens just a step away
Heavens just a step away
Just a swing of my front gate
